Have you tried Nerites? They are good algae eaters, don't eat plants, and are attractive.
The downside is that they will leave their white eggs on the glass and driftwood, plants, etc...

i don't have any LFS stores that could get me pagodas...
and are there any other snails that are colorful and unique? =o

i had pagodas (brotia pagodula) give birth in freshwater, though they were very difficult to keep for any amount of time with much success.

Cool. That's interesting. I haven't seen mine breed so I thought they were like the Faunus ater snails that need brackish water for larval development.
I have had good survival keeping Pagodas with my rabbit snails under Sulawesi conditions.

I have had no success with the Thiara winteri snails. They have all died on me, in a variety of conditions.

Thiara winteri get to about 1.5 to 2 inches, and they burrow like mts. Not quite as much as mts, but they still spenda good portion of their ttime under the substrate.
